I don't know of any function doing that, but you could easily write a
one yourself. Suppese that X is a list of matrices. Then you could
e.g. do as follows:

matrixSum = function(X)
{
   N = length(X)
   if (N==2) return(X[[1]]+X[[2]])
   else return(matrixSum(X[[1:(N-1)]],X[[N]]))
}

I guess that one should do the trick.

Best,
Michael
